NEW Exit Poll Shows Massachusetts In A Dead Heat
http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/ My first word of exit poll results says that the first two waves of results in Massachusetts show a "dead heat" between Hillary and Obama, and a 20-point margin for Romney among Republicans. UPDATE: Of the exit poll data that they're releasing - demographics, top issues, etc., there aren't many surprises. Democratic turnout was higher, and more young people. Huckabee and Romney voters wanted a candidate who "shares my values."

16. You have to admit that Kerrey and Kennedy pulled out all the stops for Obama
They weren't exactly subtle about it.

3. Good news for Obama. If they can't call MA for Hillary straight away...
that's a positive sign of things to come.

4. My prediction: too close to call until the very end
And MA may be decided by 1 or 2 votes.

5. This Would Be a HUGE Problem For Clinton
There are a handful of delegate rich states she is counting on to do well, and this was a big firewall for her.

6. HMMM, older folks vote early in AM and after work.
Clinton may get a 5 oclock bump. The theory in NH was kids vote latr, however Women who are working may not get up at 7 to vote, they might stop on the way home.

8. You know how they have those boards with the ballots displayed at
the voting places? My MA voting place had 2 Republican ballots, a Green-Rainbow ballot, and a Working Families ballot displayed but no Dem ballot. Think my vote for Obama will count there? I doubt it.

13. I'll laugh my ass off if Hillary wins Massachusetts.
GO, Hillary! Make my day! What a perfect way to return the favor for the Obama endorsement by Kerry and Kennedy.

15. Hillary was expected to carry MA by 20+ just a week ago.
If Obama keeps it close, he's in for a very good night. You may laugh now, but you won't be laughing later.

17. Hillary is not the upset here, Obama is
In other words if she wins it's status quo for that state but if rubbing in a predicted win helps you feel better then have at it.

23. What about the COVETED Ted Kennedy and John Kerry MA. enodrsements? Now they mean nothing?
:rofl: A win is a win is a win. I don't care how predictable it was. Kennedy and Kerry deserve to have it thrown in their faces. They can't even bring Obama their own state? GO, Hillary.

19. Wow. If Obama keeps it close, it would be stunning.
If he pulls out a victory, it would be a huge upset (like Hillary winning South Carolina big).

29. Wow, if it stays close then that's great for Obama
Didn't all the recent polls there put Hillary up by at least 5 points, usually 10?
